Armory HILL tst night, For some
weeks pas, the mlliners and modistes
have been kept busy by the countless
orders poured in upon them by the
necessity of the occasion, and that
their efforts have been crowned
with success was proved by
visit to the ball room last
night, Costumes which would have
aroused the admir- ition of Worth,
showed to advantage the graceful
contours Of women "wondrous fair"
and priceless gems elittered re-
splendentlv from threats that
rivalied the first flakes of the
winters snow in their whiteness
That la creme de la creme OF Los Az
eeles M ciely was present was ev'-
dnced hy u glance around the
CROW ded hall. Men known in busl'
ness circles as successful hnanclers:
and piyanti: operators in the martI OF
lif., snuH of them grown gray with
lie of endless toll, stood hitting pleas
anilv together in the hooks and corners.
while on the vantage ground in the

THE OPENING MARCH.
It was half past nine ere the pro-
ceedinys we're formally opened, and
at that hour Meme Bros. orchestra
struck up tuneful march and the
grand promen ,de began. About
ninety couples participated in this
movement, which was executed with an
esprit that showed that its participa-
tors had yrdeed many an other SINH
lar scene, aud as the long line passed
slowly up and down the brilliantly
lighted room, words OF admiration
broke unconsciously from the lips OF
the onlookers who surveyed the daz-
zling scene. In the meantime the
guests were hocking in, in one contin-
uous stream, and closely yelled and
berobed figures disappeared quick
ly into the spacious cloak
room to emerge minut'
afterwards in all the glory OF their
evening attire. Ushers fitted noise-
lesslv to and fro, and the genial master
of ceremonies and his untiring aides
de-camp worked with a zeal worthy OF
the cause in which they were enlisted.
Fifteen m nutes listed the tuneiul
promenade, and then the brief inter-
Jude which preceded the first dance
was devoted to the interchange OF
courtesies between those acquainted
with each other and the
introductions of those. who, compare
tively strangers in the city, could dis
Germ but lew familiar faces in the con-
course around them. Programmes
were produced, and gilded pencils
noted engagements for future dances,

"FAIREsT OF THE FAIR
Being 80 besieged with applications
that they were compelled to make
many manly heart unhappy by a
reply which was rendered compul-
sorily negative by the limited list at
their disposal.
1t was near the hour of 10 ere the
strains of the first dance sounded,
and there was no lack of participants
for the l4ncrrs which was presented.
vs-From that hour until the close this
morning gayety reigned supreme, the
astivities being at ther climax at
aidnight, at which hour fully 25O
NESTS were within the building.
